Life Milestone Projector
Every milestone year for any birth year: school, work, home, retirement.
A child born in 2020 starts school in 2025, leaves in 2038, buys a first home around 2055 and reaches a projected retirement in 2089 — a timeline in which most of the decisions have not been invented yet.
